Center for Public Humanities

Explore the spectrum of human culture and experience

The
Center for Public Humanities is rooted in Messiah College’s collective devotion
to the humanities and the desire to partner with our broader community in
meaningful inquiry, conversation, and action. Quite simply, we are students,
faculty, and community members discovering what it means to be fully present
and dynamic partners in the most important civic, scientific, and cultural
conversations and issues of the 21stcentury.

Housed in
Boyer Hall, the Center for Public Humanities advances Ernest L. Boyer's
Scholarship of Engagement that celebrates discovery, integration, and the
sharing and application of knowledge. We invite you to join us as we
deepen our understanding of the humanities through an array of programs and
events.
